When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

MASC, UNIFORMISÉ
EX – Wheel slip is detected by some form of speed-sending equipment connected electrically to the motor circuits or connected mechanically to the axles. When slipping occurs, relays automatically reduce main-generator excitation or engine speed until slipping ceases, whereupon power is gradually reapplied. (MECH-11-29) Source, fiche 2, Exemple d’utilisation 1 - wheelslip
OBS – patinage : terme uniformisé par CP Rail et le CN. Source, fiche 2, Observation 1 - patinage
CONT – Le mot patinage s'applique à une roue qui tourne et glisse sur le rail, cela sous l'action d'un effort moteur trop élevé. Le mot enrayage caractérise une roue qui glisse sans tourner sur un rail, par suite d'un serrage trop énergique des freins. Source, fiche 2, Contexte 1 - patinage
EX – On distingue deux types de patinage : le patinage au démarrage et le patinage en marche (RGCF-71, p. 370) Source, fiche 2, Exemple d’utilisation 1 - patinage
